Troops for The Civil War
Raising the Troops
The following is taken from the red Book of Michigan:
"The end of operations in 1864 found the Army of the Potomac in the trenches before Petersburg, holding Lee as in a trap, Sherman's army in possession of Savannah, and Thomas successful in Tennessee.
" This memorable year was fraught with great results to the Nation, effected by the unparalleled-fighting of hosts of men, wading deep in human blood through carnage dense.
"The day and night advances of Grant's army on Richmond were to the Northern people movements producing intense anxiety, strong hope, fervent prayers for success, and sorrow and sadness for the patriots passing away.
